It seems that Trump has blown past some major milestone or barrier – whatever it is that inhibits people from jabbering nonsense in public.
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote … they cheat." pic.twitter.com/lIQDisyjK1
At least here, at least part of his audience is disagreeing and groaning. GOOD. Of course the next line to cross is that Democrats, and all of Trump’s critics/opponents, are not actually American. The idea is already there in his head, just waiting to use his tongue as a diving board. He’s already saying that Democrats only get in by cheating; making them un-Americans, and then un-persons can’t be far behind.
